Killer Blinds? Or don't leave your children unattended...

Found an article on yahoo talking about the newest huge recall.  Window blinds.  Why?  Because children get strangled and die in the cords that hang from them.   I probably should have found something else to blog about.  Everything in your home is potentially hazardous to a child, and children can get killed by some things that you would never expect.  They claim that there is a manufacturers defect, but really, if its a defect aren't all blinds defective?  6 Major companies including Ikea, Target, and Pottery Barn kids are all part of the recall.  One of the people that they talked to even said that parents need to inspect the blinds and make sure they aren't defective so that they can return them and send them new blinds with a "release clip" that will solve the defect.  One of the claims of a child dying because of them date back as far as 2006 and 2007.  Something happened recently so now they are making it a huge recall. 
Maybe this is necessary?  I'm sure its just to make moms feel a whole lot better.  While you are at it make sure you pull out all the strings on your hoodies... I would hate for you to choke to death... cause I hear those are being recalled in some department stores as well. Oh well.  Here is the article... tell me if you think I am wrong.  :)
